Women Safety in Public Transport Buses: An exploratory Study of Women in Hyderabad, India

Abstract

Women safety in metro cities has been the area of research interest across the globe. While extensive studies 
have been carried out in this area, women safety with respect to public transport systems have also gained 
significant interest among researchers. On the other hand, transport authorities of various metro cities across 
the world have also been paying attention and developed infrastructure and safety mechanisms to ensure the 
safety of women commuters. However, if the commuters perceive the existing infrastructure and practices safe 
enough is a question.
